International Harvester sold two people-carrying trucks for more than a quarter-century. The Travelall wagon arrived in 1953, and the smaller International Scout followed in 1960. Together, they ran until the last Scout left Fort Wayne, Indiana, in 1980.
These six models trace that run in order. Also, each entry sticks to the engines and dates its sources confirm.
1. 1953 International R-110 Travelall

The first Travelall was essentially a windowed R-110 panel truck on IH’s half-ton R-series chassis. At first, rear passengers climbed in by flipping the passenger-side front seat forward. At the back, side-opening barn doors were standard, while a wagon-style tailgate was optional.
An early example shows the hardware in detail. According to RM Sotheby’s, a 1953 R-110 Travelall bought new on August 25, 1953, used a 220.5-cubic-inch overhead-valve six rated at 100 hp. It drove through a three-speed manual on a 115-inch wheelbase. That truck showed 35,500 miles and sold for $31,900 at RM’s Arizona sale in 2017. In addition, Silodrome names the engine as the 220 “Silver Diamond” six.
2. International Scout 80, 1960–1965

The Scout 80 was the first Scout. It launched in 1960 with a 152-cubic-inch International inline-four. Silodrome calls it the most spartan of all the Scouts. For example, early trucks had a fold-down windshield, vacuum wipers and removable sliding side windows.
Velocity Restorations dates the Scout 80 from 1960 to 1965 and calls the 152 the “Comanche” four. Velocity pairs that engine with a three-speed manual. In addition, Silodrome’s 2024 Scout history confirms the 1960 launch and the same 152 four.
3. International Scout 800A, from late 1968

The Scout 800A arrived late in 1968 with revised bodywork and a heavy-duty rear axle. It also got a Dana 20 transfer case, according to Silodrome. The 800A kept the 800’s engines, including a 196 four, a 232 six and a 266 V8. It also added a 304 V8 to the list.
Meanwhile, Velocity Restorations places the 800A in the 1969 and 1970 model years. It also says the 800A brought new trim packages, including the Sportop with its slanted rear roofline. After that, Velocity says, a one-year 800B closed out the first-generation Scout in 1971.
4. 1969–1975 International Travelall

The final Travelall arrived early in 1969 with a new body. An AMC-sourced 232-cubic-inch six served as the base engine until IH dropped it after 1971, Silodrome says. Beyond that, IH’s own 304, 345 and 392 V8s filled out the options.
During an IH engine shortage in 1973 and 1974, an AMC 401 V8 badged V-400 stood in for the 392. The wagon rode a 119-inch wheelbase and measured 204 inches long, Curbside Classic notes. Finally, on May 5, 1975, IH dropped its whole Light Line, Travelall included, according to Silodrome.
5. International Scout Traveler and Terra, 1976–1980

For 1976, IH stretched the Scout II. Both the Traveler and the Terra rode a 118-inch wheelbase, Velocity Restorations says. By comparison, the standard Scout II used 100 inches. As a result, both sat 18 inches longer between the axles.
The Terra used the same long chassis as a pickup, with a removable half-cab roof and a cargo bed. Both stayed in the lineup through 1980. Velocity also lists special editions from those years, such as the Rallye and the SSII. Each offered a 345 V8.
6. International Scout II, 1971–1980

The Scout II debuted for 1971 with restyled bodywork, including a three-piece front grille, Silodrome says. Engine choices grew over its life. In fact, Velocity lists 152 and 196 fours, 232 and 258 sixes, and 304 and 345 V8s. Silodrome adds two Nissan diesels and front power disc brakes from late 1974.
The last one came off the line at Fort Wayne on October 21, 1980, the Albert Lea Tribune reports. It was a Tahitian Red Metallic Scout II with a turbocharged diesel, a manual transmission and four-wheel drive. In total, International Harvester built 532,674 Scouts across both generations, according to Velocity Restorations.
